      If the internet has taught me anything, it’s that every fandom has it’s insanely toxic element. Especially every game fandom.

    Welcome to the internet? I have gotten those too.

    Unless they can demonstrate they are credible threats, this is just ‘today on the internet’.

      To lend credibility to your comment, I’ve decided to issue you my own death wish.

      I hope that when your time comes that you’re able to die swiftly and painlessly with dignity and the knowledge that you were enough. If you have family, I hope you’re surrounded by their love and warmth. If you have money, I hope it positively influences future generations in ways that honor your past. May your days be numerous and your memory cherished in your absence.

      You better watch it buddy. I hope you die surrounded by kittens and puppies full of bliss and happiness at a life well lived.

    Yeah, I don’t think I’m ever going to understand people who take time out of their day to write death threats to anyone. I guarantee whatever you don’t like about someone, that’s not the solution. You will be ignored at best and arrested or killed yourself at worst. Just, damn… idk. This stuff isn’t new to me or anything, but the mental gymnastics it takes to get there are just foreign to me and they only get more foreign as time goes on.

    Out of all the possible targets for raging enough to threaten death, people making games are the target? Jfc

    If people were this vehement when Game Freak regurgitates new Pokemon game maybe we’d get something good out of them. Instead they waste their energy this way…

      Palworld is a popular monster catching and survival game that has sold over 5 million copies since its release. However, the game’s developers have received death threats from upset Pokémon fans who believe the monster designs have been plagiarized from Pokémon. The CEO of Palworld’s studio addressed these threats on Twitter, asking people to stop harassing the development team. While some clear similarities exist between Palworld and Pokémon monsters, the future of the game still looks bright if technical issues can be resolved and new content added over time. Overall, Palworld seems to have found great commercial success, but its popularity has also led to some unfortunate harassment of its creators from a minority of Pokémon fans.
